In this video i'm going to show you guys, how to have these date picker controls to your bb
now these things are so cool they'd give you this nice little calendar that you can use to select dates
When entering data into your so let's check out how we can do this
hello everyone and welcome to the engineering tool box channel where i give you the tools you need to solve real-world engineering problems
So if we want to turn these text boxes into
date pickers we can do that and
what, we have to do is actually add a
Object or control library to the available
Controls here so if we go to additional controls
we can actually see that there are more controls available to us but not the specific date picker control that we're looking for
So in order to add that
We have to
go and search online for this ms comc
t200c x file and that when we download that and register it
That will give us the ability to add those date pickers so the one i use is right here
So if we go to that page and then we hit download you can see i've already downloaded it?
just, type in a
To let it know i'm not a robot and then we download that
we open it and then here is our file and
We need to take that and cut it and go to our c drive and
Then go to windows
and
let's see you're the cysts wow
64 folder and then paste that and
Since mine is already in there it's just a place that actually it's gonna say it can't because i mean i think
Yeah, so we'll skip that part, so you'll paste it into this folder and
then
If we have to register it and also if we type in cmd to open the command prompt we'll
run this as administrator and we will type in
reg
As we are 32 and then we will go back to our
Folder where we pasted that and then find it again so ms
we're looking for i must come
Ct to core properties security to find the file location
copy that and
paste it here
problem is
You might have the same problem is it adds that little question mark in front about the file path
So we have to delete that and then when we hit enter it'll say that it registered it and
Then we can close this close down on all of our other windows here and?
then
now
that control will be registered with
excel
So then we can go to additional controls
and it should show up right here this microsoft date and time picker control
So i'll just check this, so it shows on our tool box here and
then click the date picker
and we'll drop one in there
sighs it and then just copy this
below there and then we will change this to match up with our old text box
Controls so we're going, to type in txt start date and
on this one will be txt due date
and now if we
run this, see our date picker controls defaults to today's date and
when we click that arrow that drops down with a nice calendar for us just like you see in a lot of other applications
So date picker test
And we'll add that and then we'll see that
it populates our date values just like it did before
